Get calipers or a ruler and measure how thick and long it is. Looking at a generic photo we can only tell you if it uses coarse or fine thread pitch.

they're screws.

 

without measurements all i can tell you is that they're not self-tapping screws, and that's about it.

 

could be M2x10, could be M16x80, could be some imperial standard.

Found multiple sites with something like this, amazon, ebay, aliexpress, etc., non of them mention the type of screw.

Your best bet is either to ask the sellers or someone who bought it.

Take it to a local hardware store and ask them to measure it and let you know what type of screw they are.

Only if I bought it, would have took your suggestion but I dont have it on hand as Im still at the buying phase. Maybe Ill just use the screws that PC Case fans use on my small project instead of buying that fan with an unknown screw measurements. I dont even know if it will screw into the other heatsink I found online. Thanks anyway.

It depends on the fan size if it is an 40mm fan buy M3. Smaller fans (e.g. 30 mm) use M2 screws.

Yup, it is a 40mm fan
